Bai Project
A Co-operative Venture with Local Authorities
与当地政府部门的合作项目
这个白文项目是SIL与云南省少数民族语文指导工作委员会的合作项目,并签订了六年的合约。剑川县教育局和剑川县文化局也积极参与了此项目的开展,他们不仅为这个项目尽了很多心力,同时还提供了办公室及专职人员。这个项目的主要资金是由SIL提供,少部分资金由当地的合作部门提供。
2002年, 毕百灵和毕丽丝两位博士来到剑川开始着手这个项目。毕丽丝带来她几十年来在教育与音乐领域,以及在攻读博士学位时所研究的有关中国农村妇女文盲问题的丰富经验。毕百灵则在管理各种组织机构方面有丰富的阅历,包括新业务的管理、社区发展、以及有关教育方面的项目等。
A Co-operative Venture with Local Authorities
The Bai Literacy Project is a six year co-operative venture between SIL and the Yunnan Province Language Affairs Commission. It has the active involvement of the Jianchuan County Education and Culture Bureaus, who have committed, amongst other things, to providing and staffing the project office. SIL is providing the primary funding for this project with local authorities contributing minimally.
In mid-2002 Brian and Liz Billard arrived in Jianchuan to begin work to establish the Bai Literacy Project. Liz brings several decades of experience in education and music, and her PhD focus upon literacy among rural women in China. Brian has long experience in management in a variety of forms, including management of new ventures, community developments, and education-related projects.
